Blacks Reject White Candidate by 90%


I don't think I can stand one more white pundit tut-tutting about Hillary appealing to white voters. She is not supposed to notice that blacks have been voting for Obama in the 90+ category. White voters, if they go for Hillary greater than 50 percent are somehow racially tainted. Blacks however get a pass from scrutiny. Men, woman, rich, poor, rural or urban, the numbers are the same. Blacks are voting for Obama, because he is black. Obama has no family roots in American slavery.

No honest person can accuse Hillary Clinton of being racially bigoted against black people. An honest person can question the integrity of black voters who reject a white candidate by 90%.

  2. When it was the Democratic candidates, regardless of race the blacks supported, no Democrat thought it racist.

    In fact Bill was proud that he was the first Black President. The blacks still support the Democratic candidate with 90% solidarity.

    Nothing new there, that Billary will not be the nominee, well that just seals the deal.
    The Plantation owners never thought the black wing of their Party would ever field a suitable candidate. Well, they were wrong.

    The blacks are just doin' what they've always done, just now some folk are more uncomfortable about it, than they were before.

  5. Al Giordano rewards the faithful at Rural Votes/The Field:

    “Rasmussen Reports will soon end our daily tracking of the Democratic race and focus exclusively on the general election competition between Republican John McCain and Democrat Barack Obama. Barring something totally unforeseen, that is the choice American voters will have before them in November. While we have not firmly decided upon a final day for tracking the Democratic race, it is coming soon.”

    Wretchard says McCain and the Republicans need a cause, and of course he is right. Let me suggest the ardent protest of the prematurely collected corpse in (Monty Python's) Search for the Holy Grail: "I'm not dead yet!" Verrrrry popular bumper sticker, that would be.

  13. This "black voting black no matter what" thing has been going on for a long time, but not necessarily at the national level.

    It has been going on in Memphis, as one example, for over 30 years (where I was raised).

    Check out the political history of:
    Harold Ford, Sr., John Ford, Marion Barry (Memphis and Washington DC), Ricky Peete, and many lesser known local politicians. They do time, get out, and get re-elected.

    Serving time for extortion, bribery, theft, tax evasion, smoking crack with prostitutes, etc. has no bearing on the ability for these people and their likes to get 90%+ of the Black vote over and over again.

    At least the Black Memphis voters are honest. They will tell you they voted for someone because and only because they are Black. It's quite the phenomenon.

    "...a crazy new government guide called "Words that Work and Words that Don't" urging federal agencies, including the Department of Homeland Security, to eliminate all references to Islam when discussing, well, Islamic terrorism.

    Not only does that mean no more talk of "Islam," it also means no more talk of "jihad." ("Extremism" is the new "jihad.") And forget about the "caliphate." (Try "global totalitarian state.") Even such politically correct terms as "Islamist" and "Islamofascist," which

  39. Obama will score at least a 45%, bob, I'd bet.

    Though there may be even fewer yuppies, in WV, than blacks.

    Well, almost
    Obama's strengths are among black voters and college-educated voters, but only 3.3 percent of West Virginians are black and only 16.5 percent of residents have bachelor's degrees, more than 10 percentage points below the national average, U.S. Census figures show.

    For Clinton, the state is nearly ideal: She has consistently outperformed Obama among white, older and blue-collar voters in competitive primaries.

    Exit polling in the 30 Democratic primaries in which both candidates competed shows whites favoring Clinton over Obama 55 percent to 40 percent, voters over age 65 favoring her 59 percent to 36 percent, and rural voters favoring her 52 percent to 42 percent.

    West Virginia's median age of 40.7 is four years older than the national median, more than nine in 10 residents are white and the median family income is roughly $12,500 below the national median of about $58,500.
    ...
    Obama, though, may benefit from a new wrinkle for state Democrats — the first-ever open primary, Rupp said.

    There are roughly 154,000 voters in the state with no party affiliation, compared to more than 660,000 Democrats and about 348,000 Republicans. Since the 2006 elections, roughly 19,000 people have registered as independents, double the number of new Democrats and triple the number of new Republicans.

    For the first time this year, those independents will be able to vote in either party primary. Exit polls show Obama with a 54 percent to 40 percent advantage over Clinton among self-described independents.

    Clinton does better than Obama among Democrats, 50 percent to 47 percent.

    There are 39 delegates at stake in West Virginia that both candidates dearly want to claim. Obama is less than 200 delegates away from the 2,025 delegate needed to clinch the nomination. Clinton lags more than 150 delegates behind Obama.


    So maybe 43%, of the Primary voters

  52. Edited and updated from the original version.

    JOHN McCAIN is married into the Phoenix-Arizona mobster network.

    To understand the background you need to know about the Kemper Marley organised crime network which runs Arizona. Marley was the protégé of Sam Bronfman which owned the liquor giant Seagrams and Universal Music, the biggest music company in the world. Marley had also been connected to what remained of the Al Capone operation.

    Kemper Marley, now dead, owned the Arizona liquor monopoly, United Liquor. In 1948 two employees of this "company" were jailed for federal liquor violations and one of them was Jim Hensley, the general manager, and father in law to…John McCain.

    Marley himself was saved from prosecution by his personal attorney, William Rehnquist, who went on to be the present Chief Justice of the US Supreme Court.

    When Hensley came out of prison he was rewarded by Marley with a Budweiser distributorship, which is now in the hands of…John McCain. The last estimate of its' worth was worth $300 million.

    When a reporter on the Arizona Republic, Don Bolles, threatened to expose the Marley rackets and the big names involved, he was murdered when a bomb exploded in his car. Bolles was wheeling and dealing with these guys and so knew the truth. His last words were: "Adamson, Emprise, the mafia."

    John Adamson was a hit man and Emprise was a dog track operation which changed it's name to Sportservice. Emprise. under its late founder, Louis Jacobs, father of current president Jeremy Jacobs, Emprise had some dealings with organized crime figures. Congressional hearings revealed old company practices that included secret cash payments to politicians in the 1950s. In 1972, Emprise was convicted of conspiracy and fined $10,000 for concealing mob interest in the Frontier Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas.
    They were "partnered" up with Kemper Marley.

    Marley, with his massive wealth and influence, controlled all the congressmen and senators in Arizona, as his successors still do. These include John McCain.

    Another Phoenix figure, the Marley-connected Charles Keating, paid John McCain $112,000 and a deal between Keating and McCain's wife involving a shopping centre, netted half a million dollars in six months. Keating has faced criminal charges for corruption.

    You will never be told the true background to any of this by the Arizona media, like the Arizona Republic. It was started by Eugene Pullium, at the instigation of, Kemper Marley.

    Eugene Pullium was, in turn, the grandfather of Dan Quayle, vice president to George Bush41.

    Quayle grew up in Paradise Valley, near Phoenix.

    These are the webs and networks in which we find, John McCain.

  78. Bobal, Rossi supports the Federal Marriage Amendment, which should have been addressed by the Defense of Marriage Act in 1996. (I realize Dino isn't in Congress, but that indicates his willingness to use this as a wedge issue). Here's McCain's speech in the Senate against the FMA, which I find to be well thought out:

    I think the Defense of Marriage Act represents the quintessentially federalist and Republican approach to this issue. The constitutional amendment we are debating today strikes me as antithetical in every way to the core philosophy of Republicans. It usurps from the states a fundamental authority they have always possessed, and imposes a federal remedy for a problem that most states do not believe confronts them, and which they feel capable of resolving should it confront them, again according to local standards and customs.

  84. Well, no, it's not always kosher, and in the case of the Mongol and the Han, the ruling elite lost their lives, but the buerocrats stayed on.

    Eventually assimulating the Mongols, so, from a Cultural survival perspective, the Han won and the Mongol lost.

    But from either a tactical or shortterm strategic military perspective the Mongols won.

    Genghis and his highly developed staff studied the problems of the assault of fortifications. With the help of Chinese engineers, they gradually developed the techniques to take down fortifications. Islamic engineers joined later and especially contributed counterweight trebuchets, "Muslim phao", which had a maximum range of 300 metres compared to 150 metres of the ancient Chinese predecessor. It played a significant role in taking the Chinese strongholds and was as well used against infantry units on battlefield. This eventually would make troops under the Mongols some of the most accomplished and most successful besiegers in the history of warfare.

    As a result of a number of overwhelming victories in the field and a few successes in the capture of fortifications deep within China, Genghis had conquered and consolidated Jin territory as far south as the Great Wall by 1213. He then advanced with three armies into the heart of Jin territory, between the Great Wall and the Yellow River. With the help of Chenyu Liu, one of the top officers who betrayed Jin, Genghis defeated the Jin forces, devastated northern China, captured numerous cities, and in 1215 besieged, captured and sacked the Jin capital of Yanjing (the modern-day Beijing). But the Jin emperor, Xuan Zong, did not surrender, but moved his capital to Kaifeng. There his successors were eventually defeated in 1234.


    But the Mongol culture was assimulated, so who really won?

    I'd say that while the Chinese lost the battle and the war, the Han culture, though modified by the assimulation, won.
